Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle Paperwhite remains the best choice for most readers thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio. It features a crisp 7-inch display with a 300 ppi resolution and adjustable warm backlighting, on which text appears sharp and perfectly rendered, almost like ink on paper. The fast processor ensures smooth page turns and more fluid navigation, even when reading large PDFs and illustrated novels. The battery life lasts up to 12 weeks. Its thin case with IPX8 water resistance and light weight make it convenient for travel and commuting. Kindle Paperwhite is available in both Wi-Fi and cellular versions.

2014. Kindle Paperwhite gets twice more internal storage



Amazon discreetly updated the Kindle Paperwhite 2nd generation hardware. The newest model is identical to the version released last year, except with doubled internal storage. The international product page for the Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite began displaying a banner earlier this summer directing to a “current version” product page. Kindle enthusiasts on the MobileRead forums have confirmed that the new page is for a 4GB Paperwhite, which was previously available only in Japan. Amazon notes that this isn’t a new product — it’s the same Paperwhite, but with increased storage.
